The winterhold college just like most things related to mages in skyrim is really boring.....i mean seriously it feels like Bethesda hates mages because not only is it really hard to play mages at hard dificulties but leveling up destruction magic is extremely slow and painfully boring, Might be just me tought.

I was wondering why the College of Winterhold didn't last very long. The whole thing was pretty much just one long quest length.

Immersive College of Winterhold, is probably one of the best mods for Skyrim, imo. This could be due to how disappointing the vanilla version of the college is.

I actually found 2 of the missing appretices, always wondered about them

Daniel Charland

This explains a lot. I always felt that there were a lot of loose threads from things that characters say, but I always figured that I just hadn't found the right secrets. Now I know that they don't actually exist. Too bad, I'd totally marry that elf lady in spite of my general dislike of high-elves for being arrogant and wanting to destroy the entire world of men because of their god-complex.

I was wondering why their was a charred corpse by the sea thanks for the explanation

Ulixes

I apparently have the same eyes as Tolfdir and that has actually made my day. My right is brown and left is green. Whoo heterochromia!

I think the mod Cutting Room brought a lot of these back into the game. Going to look into a College overhaul mod after this thanks great one!

Your Skyrim videos are always great.Edit: This one is no exception

nikola jurican

Rhexx make video about augur of dunlain

Honest M'aiq

You're the mages guild. You have the strongest mages in Skyrim province. Your founder literally created a college via magic. Yet you can't conjure up a freakin' hammer and fix the bridge.

Blondehuntress

Wait, i dont think mirabelle has ever died for me

Ernest Prat Garriga

That guy got murdered to death by the skeevers

Valesto93

The magical anomalies level boundary and reset is probably because the cap is right around the max number that can be saved in 16 bit datatype, and the reset to lvl 1 is the overflow

Lusiggy

Oh hey notification, it's been a while since I watched rhexx. Well back in I go

It would've been nice if he mentioned the rings that you can find in the library. That's always a fun little thing that I do while in the mages guild

David Wineholt

I think you should do a TES lore video on "The Necromancer's Amulet" history. The quests in both #Skyrim and #Oblivion are some pretty epic questlines in the all #TES games and I never really seen many videos made on it yet.

Wizards freezeimg mead just use some frost magic or leave it out side it is skyrim

Gandalf the GOAT

Says "im going to make a mage build" 5 hours later has 65 archery and 20 destruction

Charred Husk

So i messed up on one save and did the college of winter hold quest line after i broke the game...and was lv999. I just gave up until i broke weapon damage and then came back.

Patrice Boivin

I don't see why Bethesda didn't "finish" producing some of these quests using a patch

ThibautVDP

i wish those old obsolete game files would be removed from the game. it's just so much wasted space.

Keegan Stormblade

1.) I think I went out of my way to try and find those guys once. What a shame those guys are dead...2.) Damn! I should use console commands to add some guards to the College next time I play the game. Also, I had no idea about the chest being there. Maybe I should use TCL in more locations.3.) So that explains why those things tank hits really well...5.) Yeah, I heard about that "Rogue Wizard" quest. I'm still not entirely sure why it was implemented though.

Sick video Rhexx, do you play Xbox One?

Safebox Gaming

The reason for the levelling glitch with the magic anomalies is due to the variable type used to store levels, which would appear to be an unsigned short with a max value of 65,535. If this number is surpassed (as is the case by the player levelling up by 1), the value resets to 0 which Skyrim's engine won't allow so it pushes it up to the next valid value which is 1.

Hugo Flores

What's up guys I played Skyrim before i want a new version another Skyrim game a new one

Silver Wyvern

They gotta do a damn Winterhold DLC for Skyrim or ESO!! It's all cool we got the fancy Psijic island and Altmer Nazis, but the real magic of Tamriel in my opinion was in Winterhold and it's story. The Bosmer can keep their tree songs, Khajit their moon magic, and Argonian Hist magic... I want the great college! We get Dominion Nazi college, and isolationist scholars instead. The Dunmer have their trinity and Telvanni mages have their nostalgia, cool, but in ESO us Bretons don't really have a cooler place to go than Winterhold, considering it accepts everyone... or hey you could start giving us actual landmarks like the Direnni tower or some of the others, that would be cool.

I can understand having to cut these quests b/c the game had to ship, but given Bethesda's buggy-at-release tendency, why even bother? Even if they could release these games without much issue, why not just patch these back in at a later date as some free dlc akin to Witcher 3?

wait i think i know that voice, are you jerry liu?

Thor's Hammer

How powerful are the Daedric Princes in their true forms?

michael liggett

I must've bugged my pc version awhile back because meribelle survived the questline. on one play through so either that or it is possible to stop her death but it is hard and tricky and I lucked out if that the case

Arturo Hernandez

This is some good detailed content holy shit

Immortal Wolf

im not so certain the first deal with the apprentices was ever meant to be a whole quest, it was likely just another of those things to breathe a little more depth into the world. the elder scrolls games have had a large number of unmarked "quests" that are just there to add flavor for those willing to do the work to find them.

Georgi Stavrev

open consoleclick anomalytype "kill"enterHad to do that, anyway. Since my game crashed every time I hit one of those bastards...

Phil Dicks

Of all the organizations in Skyrim, the Bard's College and College of Winterhold were my biggest disappointments. One makes you a glorified gofer, and the other makes you Archmage, but leaves you with a meh feeling.

Another great video, keep it going rhexx!

Matt Lewis

Early af! Just had that feeling Thank u rhexx!

Tanner 9905

I’m level 1500 and haven’t even started mages guild questline, does this mean I’m never killing them unless I level up another 36000 times

Lore Master23

Hey Rhexx! Great video! Ever thought of making Lore for a universe of your own making? Might be cool!

Mace Windu

I think this is the earliest I've ever been

Good job, nice video 😊

Hmm magic passed on by Genetics where have I heard that before. Oh right in Harry Potter and Angie Sage's Septimus Heap series in fact for HP Dudley was planed to have a wizard kid and meet Harry at Kings Cross years later. Miss Rowling took into consideration that Uncle Vernon's hate for Magic was so great his DNA would snuff any trace of the Magic Gene so if that means Harry's kids will be the only grandkids of Harry's mom's gene pool to have Witch or Wizard kids is still unknown I'd hope that Uncle Vernon's hate would be diluted after a generation. Dudley is one thing that redeems his family too. After the events in Order of The Phoenix Dudley actually saw reason and felt pity for Harry as well as empathy and realized all his life not one person he knew would of saved him that night except Harry. He knew Harry saved him not just as a way to get something he saw Harry save him his worst bully besides his dad risk his very soul to save him.Also I do hope my first few sentences here don't sound sarcastic. I realize they could sound that way very much so but that was not my intent.

this games 7 years old.....play new games!

Avvak

i'm not sure why the magic anomalies glitch the f out but i know that a 16 bit integer can hold somewhere similar to that amount, and when you go over that it probably loops around to 0(maybe the level can't be 0 and it goes to 1)

Arkham Wrath

Fight Magical Anomaly with TGM !!! LOL

Whitefang 73005

Lol the dude with the skeevers never showed up, just the skeevers

Benjamin Halford

The anomalies are actually, I believe, just over 1.75 times the player character's level. As such, when the player is at level 37,448, there level is 65,534. However, when the player levels up again to 37,449, they become level 65535.75, rounding up to 65536. Which is the highest unsigned binary number that can be stored, in 16-bits. So with that, the devs must've programmed it to be stored as a 16-bit int. Very interesting when trying to reverse engineer, or debug the game.
